This, if practiced efficiently, soothes the customer's negative emotions he could have, due to the non-attainment of his expectations regarding the product or the service.

However, more rapid progress is being made due in part to the continued consolidation between hospitality companies and hospitality IT vendors.

CRM software helps businesses manage their customer relations in a better way and streamlining the organization-wide sales, marketing, customer support, and inventory management functions in a single system.
